IH, If its a battery powered coil ignition instead of a Magneto, I would wire the Ignition switches BAT input terminal to the load (NOT to battery/starter) side of the ammeter to serve as the input voltage source to the switch and coil. Neither side of the starter switch goes through the ammeter, so to get a true reading of amperage, loads like lights or ignition need to be powered up from the ammeters load (NOT to battery/starter) side terminal. Its possible to feed the ammeters input terminal off a starter switch on the big main input terminal where theres that big cable to the battery, but if its fed off the other (to starter) side of the starter switch, the loads (lights or ignition) only get power if the starter switch is depressed. If its a battery powered coil ignition and not a mag and the coil is hot ONLY when the starter is engaged, I also wonder where youre feeding the ignition switch from??? It needs to be fed off the ammeters load side terminal. The ignition could still work if the switch were fed off the big battery cable at the switch provided its the battery not the starter side, but its loads wouldnt be running throught the ammeter that way. Check where the ignition switch gets its input voltage??? It may be wired incorrectly !!! John T
